Erasmus' Paraphrases on the New Testament provide a startling
example of the adaptation of the Bible to the religious and
rhetorical ideals of Renaissance humanism. Yet very little is known
about the production and reception of the Paraphrases, which
comprise nine volumes of the Collected Works of Erasmus in English.
In this collection of twelve contributed essays, Hilmar Pabel and
Mark Vessey aim to address this gap in Erasmus studies. The papers
reflect recent critical scholarship in three main areas: Erasmus'
promotion of the ideals of Renaissance humanism; his work as an
editor, translator, and interpreter of the New Testament; and the
impact of his published writings on the culture of early modern
Europe. Holy Scripture Speaks represents the most concerted
collective study of Erasmus' Paraphrases on the New Testament since
the completion of the first English translation by scholars during
the reign of Edward VI (1548/9). It reveals the rich complexity of
the literary, theological, and cultural dimensions of the
Paraphrases, and indicates future directions that research in this
area should take.
